Fire up the grill and throw on the chicken kabobs! This Asian-inspired grilled chicken dish is ready in 10-minutes!

The beauty of this recipe is its simplicity and flavor! Use a combination of sauces to marinate the chicken and vegetables, grill 'em and enjoy! I like to serve Crunchy Asian Salad with this dish for a light dinner!

Why you'll love this recipe!

Grilled Chicken Sesame Kabobs are a delicious and easy dinner to put together!

Simple ingredients - flavors of teriyaki, soy and a little sesame oil dress up chicken and vegetables
Easy - no mess to clean up; marinate in plastic bag!
Hassle-free- combine and put it in the fridge until time to cook!
Cost efficient - the diced chicken and vegetables goes a long way!

Here's what you'll need:

Here's how to make it:

Make the dressing in a medium bowl; set aside

Tips:

Cut the chicken and vegetables into 1" inch cubes; you want them to be thick enough to thread onto the kabob skewer
I made 6 skewers with three pieces of chicken each and had a bunch leftover! I cooked the remainder on the grill in a cast iron skillet; this amount of chicken will easily make 10-12 skewers with 3 pieces of chicken each
Grill chicken kabobs on indirect heat about 5-minutes per side; use tongs to flip them
If you use wooden skewers, soak them in water first
If you're feeling ambitious, make a side of basmati rice to serve with Grilled Sesame Chicken Kabobs
Note, there's no salt added to this recipe; I find the soy and teriyaki salty enough!
